TELEPHONE PLAZA 9356 SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. FREDERICK A. CHAPMAN 


URING the century from 1730 to 1830 there were many crafts- 
men throughout even the sparsely settled regions of New Eng- 
land. Generally they were unknown except locally; but the mere sight 
of their home-made tool-handles, or their sets of planes (made from 
beechwood or rock maple) gives a seeing eye a sense of efficiency and 
adequacy. And more conclusive still are many of the pieces of furni- 
ture clearly produced in this way. These country workers did not call 
themselves cabinet-makers; they could surely not have matched some 
of the most finished products of English and French shops; but as 
all-round, fully equipped builders of home furniture they were in a 
class by themselves. 


They knew how to select their wood on the stump—maple, birch, 
hickory, ash, pine, applewood, sycamore, elm, beech, cherry or what 
not (for all was fish to their net, and they would often combine several 
kinds in a single piece). They knew when to cut it, and how long it 
must be seasoned, and the exact virtues and defects of every kind for 
any given purpose. They still possessed that eye for good proportion 
which was so usual before the age of power-machines and the mon- 
strosities of the “dolorous Forties.” They were skilful and ingenious in 
every process of wood-working and construction. And above all, their 
work was pervaded with honesty, simplicity, and an abiding sense of 
practical usefulness. 


That they also had a real sense of beauty is patent in the graceful 
outlines and restrained decoration of the better pieces. Many of the 
homely wrought-iron implements made by some country blacksmith for 
kitchen fireplace cookery have a touch of the real artist. 


A concentrated example of this widely diffused craftsman spirit 
was offered by the Maine Shaker community, which produced a number 
of the items in this catalogue. Established about 1798, in what was 
still a pioneer’s country, this colony was soon making not only prac- 
tically everything it used, but was also supplying the neighboring 
households. The Shakers had their own forest, sawmill and woodwork- 
ing shop; some of the men worked in iron and made finished fenders 
and fire-irons of pierced steel; women and men performed every opera- 
tion in furnishing their own clothing, linen, blankets and rugs—from 
growing the flax and rearing the sheep to making the garments by the 
exact prescribed patterns. There was a hatter’s shop, and a shoe- 
making department. They prepared their own beautiful and imper- 
ishable dyes. And if the results are compared with similar commercial 


nies made to use and those made merely to sell. 


It is this spirit in whet te eighteenth an 
maker of New England worked, which pervades the furnis 
behind him.

FIVE HISTORIC INTERIOR DOORS FROM MORRIS 
MANOR HOUSE About 1800 
The Manor of Morrisania, overlooking the Harlem and East 
Rivers, was granted to Chief Justice Lewis Morris in 1697. His 
grandson Gouverneur Morris (member of Continental Congress, 
Revolutionary financier, ambassador, senator, and social leader ) 
acquired the mansion in 1787. He was an intimate friend of 
Washington, Hamilton, Lafayette, and almost every famous man 
of his time; and a procession of distinguished personages passed 
through these hospitable and beautiful doorways. 
Five mahogany six-panelled doors; corniced lintels (one cornice 
missing) with admirable simple dentil moulding. One pair large 
pilasters ; four pairs smaller; all panelled, with dentils. Exceed- 
ingly distinguished in proportion and dignified decorative effect.

Orleans, whence it travelled up the Great River to a spacious 
Blue Grass home.

by vigorously carved floral ornaments, while the supporting 
frame has eight solid square early Chippendale legs with stretch- 
ers. Upholstered with antique Chinese embroidery. (H. W.

NUMBER 1 BROADWAY BOE Shr Go, 
Intimately connected with a long series of notable figures of 
American and New York history. This famous house was the 
British headquarters during the Revolution, and Washington’s 
and Putnam’s for a time. André had his office here when he set 
out on his ill-fated expedition. Captain Kennedy (afterwards 
Earl of Cassilis) bought No. 1 Broadway and rebuilt it about 
1760—giving Broadway its first start as a fashionable residence 
street; probably this mantel was made for him at that time. 
Carved wood; round tapering columns with bands of stopped 
fluting; panel beneath bowed shelf bears a rayed oval with un- 
usual check-fluted lunettes on each side. (Many decorative mo- 
tives classed as “Adam,” such as rayed ovals and stopped fluting, 
were taken by the brothers Adam from the work of J. Carter, 
who slightly preceded them; and these designs began to come to 
America about 1760.) Careful removal of several coats of paint 
has disclosed the sensitive carving of fans and lunettes and 
mouldings. 

The building at No. 1 Broadway was torn down about 1882, 

when this mantel was removed by Hausling & Stonebridge. Mr. 

Walter G. Earl, who became connected with the firm about 

that time, vouches for the identity of the mantel in a letter which 
accompanies the piece. (H. W. Lanier Collection)
